“Be the living expression of God’s kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting.

- Mother Teresa (Saint Teresa of Calcutta) Taking a few moments to record daily experience can bring calm and increase gratitude. I accompanied my husband yesterday to a job site, where he put the finishing touches on beautiful custom bathroom cabinets he had designed, built, and installed himself. We were there about 15 min and I spent 10 of them recording the angles and varying light of the empty, half-finished house’s interior.   I am working on integrating artwork, as a means for grateful remembrance and reflection, in my daily/weekly practice. This is a depiction, via watercolor and pen & ink, of the Ft.
